The shareholders purchase shares of the company and supply necessary capital. It is one form of owned capital.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Another form of owned capital is retained earnings. It is also known as ploughing back of profit. It is a reinvestment of profit in the business by the company itself. Retained earnings are an internal source of finance.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Owned capital is regarded as permanent capital, as it is returned only at the time of winding up of the company.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Owned capital in the form of share capital, provides an initial source of capital for a new company. It can be raised a time later to satisfy the additional capital needs of a company. However, retained earnings cannot be an initial source of capital but it can be an important source of capital when a company runs its business profitably during its existence.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Promoters decide the share capital required b a company. This amount of share capital is known as authorized capital. It is stated in the Capital clause of the Memorandum of Association of the company. Let us learn in detail the various sources of owned capital.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"512\" data-src=\"https:\/\/scholarsclasses.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/08\/Difference-Between-Owned-Capital-and-Borrowed-Capital-1024x512.png\" alt=\"Difference Between Owned Capital and Borrowed Capital\" class=\"wp-image-4478 lazyload\" title=\"\" data-srcset=\"https:\/\/scholarsclasses.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/08\/Difference-Between-Owned-Capital-and-Borrowed-Capital-1024x512.png 1024w, https:\/\/scholarsclasses.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/08\/Difference-Between-Owned-Capital-and-Borrowed-Capital-300x150.png 300w, https:\/\/scholarsclasses.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/08\/Difference-Between-Owned-Capital-and-Borrowed-Capital-768x384.png 768w, https:\/\/scholarsclasses.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/08\/Difference-Between-Owned-Capital-and-Borrowed-Capital.png 1200w\" data-sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" src=\"data:image\/svg+xml;base64,PHN2ZyB3aWR0aD0iMSIgaGVpZ2h0PSIxIiB4bWxucz0iaHR0cDovL3d3dy53My5vcmcvMjAwMC9zdmciPjwvc3ZnPg==\" style=\"--smush-placeholder-width: 1024px; --smush-placeholder-aspect-ratio: 1024\/512;\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading has-text-align-center has-light-green-cyan-background-color has-background\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Borrowed_Capital\"><\/span>Borrowed Capital<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Meaning_of_Borrowed_Capital\"><\/span>Meaning of Borrowed Capital:<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p>Only owned capital is not sufficient to carry on all business activities of a joint stock company. A company needs borrowed capital to supplement its owned capital.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Every trading company is entitled to borrow money. However, it is a normal practice to have an express provision in the Memorandum of Association, enabling a company to borrow money. Memorandum authorizes company to exercise borrowing powers whereas Articles of Association provides as to how and b whom these powers shall be exercised.<br>The power to borrow money is normally exercised by the Board of Directors of the company.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>A private company may exercise its borrowing powers immediately after incorporation. However, the public company cannot exercise its borrowing power until it secures a certificate of commencement of business.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The capital may be borrowed for short, medium, or long term requirements. It is better to raise borrowed capital at a later stage of a company&#8217;s business when a company wants to expand or diversify its business and it requires additional capital. This additional capital can be raised by : <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>a) issue of debentures b) Accepting deposits c) bonds d) Loans from commercial banks and financial institutions, etc. Interest is paid on borrowed capital. It is paid at a fixed rate. Borrowed capital is repayable after a specific period of time.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/scholarsclasses.com\/blog\/difference-between-fixed-capital-and-working-capital\/\" target=\"_blank\" data-type=\"URL\" data-id=\"https:\/\/scholarsclasses.com\/blog\/difference-between-fixed-capital-and-working-capital\/\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Difference Between Fixed Capital and Working Capital<\/a><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/scholarsclasses.com\/blog\/difference-between-owned-capital-and-borrowed-capital\/\" target=\"_blank\" data-type=\"URL\" data-id=\"https:\/\/scholarsclasses.com\/blog\/difference-between-owned-capital-and-borrowed-capital\/\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Difference Between Owned Capital and Borrowed Capital<\/a><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/scholarsclasses.com\/blog\/difference-between-debenture-and-share\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Difference Between Debenture and Share<\/a><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/scholarsclasses.com\/blog\/difference-between-preference-shares-and-equity-shares\/\" target=\"_blank\" data-type=\"URL\" data-id=\"https:\/\/scholarsclasses.com\/blog\/difference-between-preference-shares-and-equity-shares\/\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Difference Between Preference Shares and Equity Shares<\/a><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading has-text-align-center\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Difference_Between_Owned_Capital_and_Borrowed_Capital-2\"><\/span>Difference Between Owned Capital and Borrowed Capital<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h4>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-table\"><table class=\"has-fixed-layout\"><tbody><tr><td><strong>Points<\/strong><\/td><td><strong><strong><strong>Owned capital<\/strong><\/strong><\/strong><\/td><td><strong><strong><strong>Borrowed capital<\/strong><\/strong><\/strong><\/td><\/tr><tr><td>1) Meaning<\/td><td>It is that capital that is contributed by shareholders.<\/td><td>It is that capital that is borrowed from creditors.
